Dimensioning Climate Control Equipment - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Manual

Measures for remaining within temperature limits
● One or more fans should be installed.
● If necessary, the drive line-up can be operated with derating.

Dimensioning Climate Control Equipment

Cabinet manufacturers provide calculation programs for selecting climate control equipment.
It is always necessary to know the power loss of the components and equipment installed in
the cabinet.
The physical relationship is shown in the following example.
q = Q - k x A x ΔT
Formula to calculate the power loss
q = thermal power that has to be dissipated through a cooling unit [W]
Q = power loss [W]
∆T = temperature difference between the room and cabinet interior [K]
k = thermal resistance coefficient [W / (m
(example: sheet steel, painted: k = 5.5 W / (m
A = free-standing cabinet surface area [m
